Description

Public Health England (PHE) seeks to appoint a provider of a Automatic Film Processors.

This is one-off purchase, however it is intended that service, support and supply of bespoke consumables (if applicable) will be covered by this agreement for the lifetime of the equipment or until PHE re-tenders the requirement.

The current requirement is for the Public Health England's Centre for Radiation Chemical and Environmental Hazards in Leeds.

DXPS® carries out radiation safety assessments of dental X-ray equipment using a remote test pack system as well as through visits to dental practices by its surveyors. Both these methods involve the use of radiation sensitive films to check the correct collimation and size of X-ray beams. The processing facilities for these films are being refurbished and two automatic processing units being sought. These automatic processing units need to be able to handle a wide range of film sizes at a reasonably high workload. It is therefore particularly important that the processing tanks are large enough to cope with this workload and to assist in assuring that this is not an issue the processors must be fitted with automatic chemical replenishment units
